title: [Commercial preparations of immunoglobulin from donor blood as a means of treating patients with severe forms of diphtheria].
abstract: Content of antidiphtheritic antibodies in commercial preparations of donor immunoglobulin endowed with antistaphylococcal activity and of normal immunoglobulin (150 specimens) was studied. High titres of antidiphtheritic antibodies (1:80 to > or 1:5120) were revealed in 70% of series. The above preparations also have antidiphtheritic activity, which fact permits these to be employed as a specific treatment option for diphtheria patients instead of antidiphtheritic horse serum.
